REMOVAL

NOTE: Before proceeding, Refer to WARNING and CAUTION.

1. Raise and support vehicle.





2. Remove wheel mounting nuts (3), then tire and wheel assembly (1).

NOTE: In some cases, it may be necessary to retract caliper piston in its bore a small amount in order to provide sufficient clearance between shoes and rotor to easily remove caliper from knuckle. This can usually be accomplished before guide pin bolts are removed, by grasping rear of caliper and pulling outward working with guide pins, thus retracting piston. Never push on piston directly as it may get damaged.





3. Remove two bolts (1) securing disc brake caliper adapter (3) to knuckle (2).
4. Remove disc brake caliper and adapter (3) from knuckle as an assembly. Hang assembly out of way using wire or a bungee cord. Use care not to overextend brake hose when doing this.





5. Remove any clips (2) retaining brake rotor (3) to wheel mounting studs.
6. Slide brake rotor (3) off hub and bearing (1).

NOTE: Inspect disc brake shoes and parking brake shoes before installation.





1. Clean hub face to remove any dirt or corrosion where brake rotor mounts (1).
2. Install brake rotor (3) over wheel mounting studs and onto hub (1).





3. Install disc brake caliper and adapter assembly (3) over brake rotor.
4. Install mounting bolts (1) securing caliper adapter (3) to knuckle (2). Tighten bolts to 115 Nm (85 ft. lbs.) torque.





5. Install tire and wheel assembly (1). Tighten wheel mounting nuts (3) to 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.) torque.
6. Lower vehicle.
